Rawhide! Howdy, yawl! This is
yer extra-terrestrial cowpoke
hyar. This hyar is the game
where yoo haf to herd them
sub-culture creatures through
the maze back into their pens,
the little critters! Ter do this you
have the haylp of yer trusty
alien desperados, whom you
can control from your wrist
terminal. You simply moooove
(chortle) your accomplices so
they block the passageways,
gradually cutting down the
amount of places they can
roam. (Oh gif me a home,
where the alien subcultures
roam...)
Ahem! The game's controls
are all alien icons, and you
view the world through a little
window to the bottom right of
the screen. You can see a
short range scan of the
immediate area in the little
scanner window up top. There
is a scrolling status window in
the centre where your
computer control shows you
messages about your mode or
state of mind and so on.
As a game it reminds this
humble cowpoke of another
arcade adventure using similar
techniques which I won't
mention... oh, alright,
Shadowfire. But in spite of this,
it manages to be a real thigh-slapper. Considering how
cheap it is, the graphics are
very swish, and the gameplay
is really quite interesting. The
sub-culture creatures are well
weird, a bit like enormous flies.
You'll need a Vapona the size
of a canoe! I think it's a great
game. Get it!
